Thanks

Tried, there appears to be a company in South Australia called Lightforce which handles the repairs. Haven't been able to get hold of them and the email didn't work so thought I'd check here!

I recently sent them a scope with the older gold marked turrets that had faded to the point they were unreadable. They replaced them for free as well as had a look at the scope to see if it was still operating within spec....it was. You pay the postage to them and they pay the postage back. I could have bought the newer white marked turrets for about $60 if I wanted.
They were spectacularly good to deal with and even dropped another pair of turrets into the package when I mentioned I had just bought another BR with the same issue.

Thank you. I'll reach out to them again tomorrow! I'm glad your experience was good, that's reassuring.

Lightforce is the parent company of Nightforce. A lot assume Nightforce is American.
Lightforce used to make probably the best spotlights around.

You need to contact Lightforce (SA) first to get a return order before you send the scope. The service is normally excellent.

A couple of years ago I had a Nightforce BR scope (that was caught in a downpour) fog up.
I sent it to Nightforce in South Australia (Lightforce) and they fixed the problem promptly with no charge other my shipping to South Australia.
They paid for the shipping back to my address.
No further problems with the scope and it's still on my F class rifle.

Thanks for the replies all. I managed to make contact today and their response is exactly as described. I'll be sending the scope off tomorrow.
